Mechanical Project Engineer

Are you a motivated Mechanical Engineer ready to take ownership of complex automated fulfillment projects while developing the next generation of engineers? We're seeking an ambitious Mechanical Project Engineer to join our dynamic team and help us drive the delivery of Amazon's logistics network expansion. In this role, you will own and execute the mechanical design of automated fulfillment center projects, taking full responsibility for project subsystems from concept through installation.

You will work independently on most tasks while collaborating with cross-functional teams, provide direct oversight and mentorship to junior engineers, ensuring their work meets project standards and helping them develop their technical capabilities.

Job Functions:

• Mechanical Design and Engineering (Primary Focus: Execution + Oversight):
• Own and develop sub system layouts for automated material handling systems with minimal oversight
• Independently select and specify conveyor types, third-party equipment, and systems to meet project requirements
• Coordinate with electrical, controls, and structural engineers to ensure integrated design solutions
• Deliver complete 3D models and manage clash detection for entire project areas
• Project Execution and Delivery:
• Execute and manage mechanical engineering deliverables, schedules, and quality standards
• Coordinate with construction teams to resolve layout conflicts and ensure efficient installation
• Lead communication with on-site construction teams, making decisions to address field issues
• Produce complete installation packages ready for construction use
• Monitor progress of engineers on the sub system team and ensure deliverables meet project timelines
• Enter and peer review orders for mechanical equipment ensuring accurate and timely releases to manufacturing
• Technical Leadership and Mentorship:
• Perform and validate all system and component calculations independently (throughput, motor power, belt pull, structural loads)
• Engineer solutions for custom parts and non-standard applications
• Directly mentor and guide engineers on technical approaches, design standards, and problem-solving methods
• Review and approve work of junior engineers, providing constructive feedback and technical direction
• Assign appropriate project tasks to team members based on their skill level and development needs
• Teach best practices and help junior engineers build their technical capabilities
• Quality Ownership and Problem-Solving:
• Ensure and validate that mechanical designs meet all safety, regulatory, and performance standards
• Review engineering calculations, designs and equipment orders for accuracy and completeness before submission
• Identify and resolve design issues proactively during all project phases
• Drive improvements based on lessons learned and apply to current work
• Make technical decisions with input from senior engineers as needed and document rationale for installation teams
